To introduce ordered nano-structures inside a transparent amorphous matrix with superior optical and mechanical properties bears scientific and technological importance, yet limited success has been achieved. Here, via simple melting-quenching and subsequ
In optical soliton propagation through a single mode optical fiber, it is established that self-phase modulation is maintained by the third order non-linearity of the silica-based glass material of the fiber. In this paper we show that the fifth order non
We experimentally verify that surface plasmon (SP) enhances the photoluminescence (PL) of visible light from Tb3 -doped 60SiO2-20Al2O3-20CaF2:0.3Tb3 , 20Yb3 glass ceramics by using electron beam lithography to fabricate silver nanoparticles on the surfac
